Dolphin sizes are displayed in Arabic-Indic numbers

[Sherif]

Partition sizes numbers are displayed in Arabic-Indic numbers.
During Kubuntu installation, I set my country to an Arabic one. I don't remember, if numbers were set Arabic-Indic in Systen Setting -> Locale, but I think Country was the USA. I made sure numbers, money and date & time are set to Arabic (0123456789), after changing Country to mine.

It affects 2 other programs (Sorry, I don't know there package names to add them to affected packages). They are Date & Time - KDE Control Module and Touchpad Settings as shown in the snapshots.
I don't know if it affects more programs.

I firstly reported to KDE bugs.

Some parts of KDevelop settings and editor numbers are in Arabic as shown in snapshot7.png, snapshot8.png and snapshot8.png.

It also affects Kate as shown in snapshot10.png and snapshot11.png.

I reported for a long time. Why didn't anybody look at it?

[Sherif (ali-sherif10)]

I found that the reason is that I chose an Arabic country, while I was installing Kubuntu.
It's repeatable. I tried it. Install Kubuntu with an Arabic country chosen then you won't be able to change your numbers configuration from Arabic-Indic numbers.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Sherif (ali-sherif10)]

This bugs is always reproducible in Kubuntu. I hope someone confirms it.

[Sherif (ali-sherif10)]

Did you confirm it?

[Portia CyberLogic (portia)]

- Open terminal.
- type "cd etc/default/"
- type "sudo kate locale", then enter your administrative pass word.
- every line in this file is a variable assignment, something like this ( LC_NUMERIC="en_EG.UTF-8" ).
- change every ( ???????="??_??.UTF-8" ) to ( ???????="en_US.UTF-8" ).
- save the file.
- restart your system.
- Now your local should be (English US) globally.
